Abstract

The maximum current reception signal level for the current reception situation is determined in very short level comparison periods repeatedly initiated after longer periods. The level comparison periods are selected to be so short that reception is not noticeably affected. The diversity processor does no switching during level comparison periods. The updated maximum level switch position is used for switching received signals to the receiver. The system has a multi-antenna system with at least two antennas (A1,A2,..), a controllable logical switch (2) for diversity reception and a diversity processor (4) that changes the switch to another position in the event of noise. The maximum current reception signal level for the current reception situation is determined in very short level comparison periods repeatedly initiated after longer periods. The level comparison periods are selected to be so short that reception is not noticeably affected. The diversity processor does no switching during level comparison periods. The updated maximum level switch position is used for switching received signals to the receiver.
